How the Process Works

Step 1: During a free initial consult, which can be conducted in person, via Skype or by phone, your physician will discuss agency options along with your treatment plan. Your coordinator will then contact you to begin reviewing your treatment plan and coordinate medical details with you.

Our Concierge Service will review the process with you and can assist in your appointment and travel details, plus put you in touch with financial consultants who can discuss the cost of your treatment.

Step 2: We will help you schedule your first visit to Chicago, an appointment that will include a physical exam, a saline sonogram, a nurse consultation, signing consent paperwork, and dropping off sperm for cryopreservation (freezing). You will also have access to our team of warm, friendly, and experienced counselors and/or psychologists.

Step 3: We’ll then help you schedule your second visit to Chicago, for your egg retrieval and/or your embryo transfer. This will be followed by a pregnancy test two weeks later — and hopefully, nine months later, by a baby.
